"Hmm," Darren sunk his hands in his pockets, shoulders broad as his eyes danced around her rigid face. "Are you really declaring war against us just now? The entire government versus a silly investment company. Seems pretty unfair, don't you think?"
She folded her arms, studying him, hating that hidden smirk that she knew he had behind that bleak mask on his face. "I never said that there is war. I only made it clear that the possibility of further altercations and issues between us depends on the findings that could be made now or in the future."
"Now or in the future?" Darren's brow raised inquisitively. "Isn't it already decided that there's nothing illegal going on here? Are you not yet done?"
Vance kicked in. "Yeah. I think it's fair to ask that this impromptu inspection be brought to an end since you've been unable to find anything damning. Also, the employees would like to return to their separate posts so duties of the day can go on."
